it was complete surprise to Mr.. and
Mrs. Perry, for which great credit Is due
G. A. Cutting, Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Stick
ney and Mrs. Hill, mother of Mrs. Perry.
The presents given by the friends were a
beautiful china tea-set, hanging lamp,
glass cider set, glass dish, one dozen sill

neat little PLAGUE, given by the little
Stickney maids to their aunt. These
were presented by II. E. Taylor of Corn

and for their attendance. Then refresh
ments. choice and abundant, were nicely
served, consisting of biscuits, tea and
coffee, cold turkey, pressed chicken, ham
and tongue, pickles and cakes in great
variety, with nuts, raisins and candy.
Pleasant chat filled out the measure of
the evening, and when the clock gave
out its timely warning it found all Won
dering at the lateness of the hour, the
time had passed SO pleasantly. AS the
good-nghts were spoken many were the
wishes that the worthy couple might live
on to welcome the anniversaries as they
come in their turn, even up to the dia-
mond. Thus came and passed a pleasant
evening, one to bring pleasing memory
to all who were there, when they shall at
times look back into the past with its
shifting and panoramic pictures of by
gone times. X. L. 7.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS.
MR.. AND MRS. HARRISON MILLS.


Thursday evening, January ~, was a
tire of unusual gayety and mrth in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Mills of
New Haven, as neighbors and friends
from near and far gathered there to re-
mind them that twenty years of their
married life had passed. The company,
though uninvited, were none the less
welcome, and our friend Harry and his
good wife were untiring in their efforts
to have every one made happy. Those
who had been engaged getting up the
party were very much disappointed on
going there to find ADame RumOr had
arrived there first and warned them of
the approaching invasion. Among the
guests (who numbered hundred and
more) we noticed the genial faces of E..
q. Farnham and wife of Shoreham, Pre-
siding Elder Bennett of Brandon, and
Superintendent +. ID. Bennett of Ben
nington. Mutual good feeling prevailed,
and the evening passed quickly in social
intercourse and song. A collation., which
had been furnished with unsparing hand
by the ladies, was served as usual. The
company dispersed at an early hour,
love and respect, in the form of presents,
both useful and ornamental, all feeling
that it had been one of the pleasantesl
evenings they had ever spent, and wish
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Mills long and happy
life. X.

The butter market has passed through an

lots of winter make range from Is q &c, and

sales have been made Mt l3&c, and if there
was much demand it would not be easy to
buy under lac. Eggs have been in light re-
ceipt for several days past and prices have
stiffened up little. Eastern extras sold quite

Because poultry is claimed TO pay large
profits in proportion 10 the amounts invest
ed therein, It does not follow that all who
venture in the poultry business viii get
rich or make money, Ii requires capital
10 conduct great enterprises, and if large
amounts are expected large sums must be
invested. 1t Is a mistake TO lead persons
into the belief that there are enormous pro
fits IN poultry But few persons have
large sums invested, and test has never
vet been made as 10 what could really be
accomplished. Those who succeed know
that 1t Is the man or woman, and not al
ways the birds, that make success Like
any other business, one must thoroughly
understand 1t Keeping "a few hocks of

Cheap wheat from America and India is
rapidly cutting down the wheat fields of
England and Scotland Since 1881 the
acreage of wheat in England has fallen 49,
per cent. while the decrease in scotland
is % per cent The acreage of barley has
been reduced 81 per cent. but there has
been a slight increase in the acreage of oats
In five years there has been "a loss of i2l.-
900 acre, in the area devoted TO wheat and
barley One might suppose that the aban-
doned wheat fields in a country so thickly
settled could hc used profitahly for other
crops-for market gardening or in raising
the variety of products grouped under the
name of truck in some parts Of the Unit
ed States-but great and continuing de
crease in the value of English farm prop
/ erty seems to indicate that there is no more
profit in the cultivation of such products
| than there is III raising grain.
